I will probably be there both days

bumping up the thread, still looking. Did I mention free lift ticket Help me out please

I recognize papasteeze's jacket from a mile away

i thought about bringin my laptop, but I remember how crowded the lodge was last year over the break. Could hardly find a seat. boys are with their dad this weekend. He is taking them to Great Wolf Lodge, but they will not see the snow. He is a very good snowboarder so I really don't get that but whatever. I'm sure they will have fun on the waterslides.

We are going up Christmas day and staying through New Years Day. I don't have internet service up there so I am trying to get things lined up. Still looking for some snowboard buddies for David (he's 8). That week will be really busy and there's no way I can watch both kids on the mountain alone. I have some free lift tickets on my season pass, so even if you are not from BB i can even buy your ticket for the day. My husband does not ski but said he would be willing to take lessons this season. I don't think Christmas week is the best time for that. Also, does anyone know about the Christmas camp on JFBB website? It says its open to junior racers but there is a fee for "non-members". Pm me if you are interested

maybe...maybe not, but that's like saying you are not going to vote because your one vote doesn't count.

Lift guys were nice last weekend. One even came out of his room to give my son some tips on how to get off without falling.

^couldn't edit...that being said, I am going to keep a positive outlook. Peak did spend a lot in snowmaking upgrades. No more negative threads for me.

I think what everyone is upset about is right now, they all bought season passes and they don't want to go to another mountain. And yes, we can't tell jfbb how to run their business and who to hire and fire. I own a bowling center. if I took out major press releases and hyped the fact that I was going to dramatically improve an untapped area of my business, lets say sport bowling. Then I said I would redo my lanes and devote 50% of my center to that area and I had recruited the best in the area. Then I had an influx of new league bowlers that were excited about the new changes. Just as the league was about to start, I fired my team. I admit, no one knows the whole story, but it just seems like a bad business decision.

It's all crap!! They should have worked out whatever problems they had and at least gone one season with the ParkLogic guys. My kids are young but I know they will be into the terrain park when they get better. I was happy that the mountain 5 minutes from my vacation house was going to have the best one around. Everyone should be posting all these threads. I don't know the details, but it seems like they put in all the work and delivered on their promises. I hope BB gave them a very generous severance pay

me too it sounds juicy

Now that I know what his jacket looks like I can't miss him.

Yeah that was probably us.

You should have come over to say hi. I was looking for people but I couldn't remember what color jackets everyone said they would be wearing.

BB was great Sat & Sun! Not crowded at all. The ticket validation thing was not too much of a hassle. I put David in a lesson to work on his toe turns and "Philly" was his instructor. he was so happy. We got to meet Nipples, Ridge and papasteeze. We won't be able to go back up until Christmas break. I'm sure it will be a zoo then.

I think the reason they changed was because of the card being used as a credit card, and so it will be easier to take off. The clips seem like they will hold...it almost seems like it would take something weird to get it to open to the point that it falls off. I got a VIP pass, so I might get a plastic cover for mine, since I have to wear it, and I don't want the magnetic strip to get all scratched up. You are lucky you got the vip pass. we'll see what kind of hassle the poor man's pass is to get validated every day. By the way, mine didn't come with a cover or anything. She handed it to me just as it is like a credit card.

I went to pick up my pass Sat. I had to sign something. I liked how the passes were put on a chain last year. I don't want to lose mine.

Its on their home page jfbb.com

We will definitely be there sat. can't wait!!!

that's good to know. Last season the families that were really nice to talk to were only up there for the weekend. I tried going out of my way to be nice and always talk to the two families I saw there all the time. their kids were around the same age as mine. they were totally snobby and blew us off. I figured it was "clicky" up there. Our house is in Brier crest woods and they are all very clicky. Every time we have gone to a function in the community building (halloween party, christmas party etc) we are like outcasts. Its wierd. I am glad to hear everyone up there is not that way.

I really hope they are open the weekend of Dec 8th, if not we can't get up there again until Christmas week.

That's the thing we are not locals. We have a house up there but live 3 hours away in south jersey.

Thanks Rob. I'm just trying to plan ahead. can;t wait until the season finally starts.

still looking for someone to hang out with my son David. (he's 8). A few people on this forum said they would be at Boulder once in a while. If I can't find someone to hang out with him all the time, he is going to be miserable. He started last year and has done all the runs at boulder. He wants to learn more about the terrain park. We are up there 2 weekends a month. Please pm me if you are interested. thanks
